Chapter 52: This is Dragon Ball
In the Li Mansion of Xindu, there is an endless stream of guests today, the luxury of the whole Li Mansion is extremely luxurious from the appearance, there are five steps on the first floor, ten steps on the first floor of the pavilion;
The various residences and courtyards named after the twenty solar terms give people a sense of grandeur, and even the protector Li Ting never knew about avoiding suspicion, and deliberately built the entire mansion into a rich and splendid mansion.
Not only Li Ting himself, but also his henchmen and generals, each of whom received a reward, also did everything to get it.
Therefore, the crowning ceremony of the fourth and fifth sons of the Li Mansion can be regarded as a major event during this time.
Even Huaifeng Le Fang was invited, but Mrs. Huai didn't want to participate in this occasion, so she let her apprentice Lian'er go to participate.
Countless guests gathered, only to see the warm sound of the song platform, the spring light, the mansion of Li Mansion, has a history of countless years, many emperors, generals, literati and writers have lived here.
The so-called prosperity since ancient times. The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people. Cloud trees surround the embankment. The angry waves roll frost and snow, and the sky is endless. The city is a jewel, and the household is rich and luxurious.
Heavy lakes are stacked on top of each other. There are three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus. Qiang tube clear, Lingge flooded the night, frolicking and fishing lotus baby. Thousands of horsemen have high teeth. Listen to the flute and drum while drunk, and enjoy the smoke. The picture of the different day will be good, and return to Fengchi Kua.
The guest of honor this time is Lu Zhiqin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who is also the younger brother of Lu Zhisong, the Confucian commander of Zhulin Temple, although his cultivation is not as good as his brother, but he can be regarded as a great Confucian in Jizhou, and his status is extremely high.
The main part of the crown ceremony is that Lu Zhiqin added three kinds of crowns, such as the cloth crown, the leather cloth crown, and the jue ben, to the head of the crown. Li Qi's expression has now been determined, calling Shu Zuo...
Eldest...
The eldest is a cousin, the second and third are all middle characters, but only on his own side he became an uncle to take the lead, and the fifth and sixth were also uncles, and Ji has not yet appeared.
There's a lot going on here...
In addition to uncle, another auxiliary character also contains Li Ting's real expectations for Li Qi, that is, to assist the Li family, assist Li Ting, and most importantly, assist the eldest brother Li Xin in the future.
Li Du's table name is Shu Ce...
Li Qi and Li Du, wearing a black dress, knelt down on both sides below, and Lu Zhiqin slowly spoke: "On the auspicious day of the month, the first Canadian yuan suit." Abandon Er Youzhi, Shun Er Chengde, Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. ”
"No..."
The whole complete coming-of-age ceremony is to be crowned three times, the most humble crown is placed in the front, the slightly honorable leather is second, and the knight is placed at the end.
Lu Zhiqin took out the cloth crown is actually a piece of black cloth, according to legend, the ancient times with white cloth as the crown, if there is a sacrifice, it will be dyed black, so it is called the cloth crown, this is the original crown. The crown ceremony is to educate young people not to forget the hardships of their ancestors.
"With the right of the year, with the order of the month, the salty gar is served. Brothers are there, so as to become a deed. Huang Yu is boundless, and he is blessed by the sky!"
The second is to add a skin ben, the shape of the skin is similar to a melon skin hat, sewn with white deerskin, and worn with the court clothes, the status is better than the cloth crown. This white deerskin hat is obviously different from ordinary deerskin, and there is a faint hint of heat.
It's supposed to be the skin of some deer demon...
The old man of Li Mansion, in front of outsiders, has done enough.
Finally, add Jue Ben, Jue Tong Finch, the material used in Jue Ben is similar to the color of the finch head red and reddish, hence the name. The knight is worn on solemn occasions such as the sacrifice of the king of the co-organization, and the status is the most respectful.
The jue ben that Li Ting prepared for his two sons is full of deep meaning, because this jue ben is made of 30 liters, which is the finest cloth nowadays.
The whole shape is similar to the silk rope worn by beads on the crown, and there is no reeling that is, the only difference between the knight and the emperor's crown is that there is no bead string before and after!
This is a prohibited item!
Li Ting has not yet been canonized as the king of Tang, he is already so arrogant and domineering, and two ordinary concubines can enjoy such a courtesy!
The crowned person has a special seat in the hall, and his position varies according to his status. The seat of the eldest son is set on the upper steps, and the seat of the concubine is in the east of the north of the hall, although Li Xin is not there, but the seat area of the eldest son is reserved by Li Ting.
Li Ting's attitude towards Li Xin's cover-up is self-evident.
It's not just Li Du who is quite embarrassed, but even the second son Li Wei and the sixth son Li Gan don't necessarily look very happy.
The eldest Li Xin is Li Ting's sister-in-law and eldest son, and Li Ting used this way to warn the other sons of the Li Mansion some clear signals.
Lu Zhiqin ignored the reactions of the sons of the Li Mansion, and he said to himself: "The beginning of etiquette and righteousness lies in the right appearance, the same color, and the following words. The appearance is positive, the color is uniform, and the rhetoric is followed by etiquette and righteousness, so as to be the monarch and minister, the father and son, and the elder and young. Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, elders and children, and then etiquette and righteousness. ”
The reason why man is different from beasts is that he understands etiquette, and etiquette is based on good looks, solemn expressions, and deferential speech.
To be responsible for the rite of passage, we must first begin with the education of the body, color, and rhetoric, and only in this way will the praiser and the guest take the trouble to comb their hair, straighten the silk scarf, and let him show his physical appearance.
So Lu Zhiqin took the trouble to comb the hair of Li Qi and Li Du for the two brothers, straighten the silk scarf, and let him show his appearance.
Because Li Qipei's sword is a gentleman's legend, coupled with his Confucian aura, Lu Zhiqin secretly admired Li Shilang's outstanding physical appearance during the process of combing his hair.
As for Li Du, after careful decoration and normal blood and blood, he also has a very handsome posture.
At the end of all this, Lu Zhiqin toasted the two sons and gave a congratulatory speech: "The luscious liquor is mellow, and the best candied liquor is fragrant. Please bow down and be respected, and offer preserved rice and liquor to lay down your blessings. Inherit the blessings of God, and never forget the years of longevity. ”
Drinking in courtesy, Li Qi and Li Du then got up and left the table, and thanked Lu Zhiqin, who was the guest of honor, for the successful completion of the crown ceremony.
The entire crown ceremony was roughly completed, and Li Qi and Li Du met with the relevant elders. First go down the hall from the west steps, turn east, go out of the east wall of the court, face north, and meet Mrs. Wang who is waiting here.
Li Du also offered dried meat to show respect, and Li Qi prepared dried meat that was more shiny and bright, and at first glance it was more advanced than Li Du. According to the prompt, Mrs. Wang was ready to leave after receiving the bow, and the crown was sent off, and the mother bowed again.
Li Qi and Li Du, as the champion of their sons, only bowed to their mother once, but their mother worshiped twice!
Then the two brothers went to meet the guests standing in the hall. These people bow again to the crowner, and the crowner returns the salute.
Then go out of the temple gate, enter the dormitory door, go to see my aunt and sister, etc., the ritual is the same as seeing my mother... After a series of complicated processes, the two brothers tossed for a long time, and finally ended this coming-of-age ceremony.
It wasn't until the evening that the whole process was over, but at this time, there was an extra lady from the Taoist temple beside Mrs. Wang, and I saw her smiling and holding Mrs. Wang's hand, walking outside the temple gate on one side.
This person is naturally the mother of the second Li Wei, the princess of the county of the Lu Cheng royal family, and the woman who later practiced in the Taoist temple.
Although Li Wei's mother was dressed as a Taoist aunt, she was quite noble, and she looked at the dragon ball in front of her with a smile: "Sister, this night pearl is very good-looking." ”
"Uncle Zuo, that kid, hey, don't let him be so extravagant and wasteful. ”
Looking at the lady opposite, Mrs. Wang's eyes couldn't hide her mood, Li Qi specially sold her a gift, and she naturally needed to show off to others when she seized the opportunity, which was a common problem among the elders in ancient and modern times, no matter what the value of this thing was.
"But in order to honor me, the Hidden Sea Dragon Ball that Shu Zuo specially bought from outside at a high price is rare for me. ”
The noble lady stepped forward and sniffed it, and then showed a smile: "Uncle Zuo has a heart, this snake inner pill is indeed extraordinary, compared to only the glow-in-the-dark dragon ball, it can also prolong the life of your sister." ”
During the conversation between the two, Lian'er on one side heard the dialogue between Mrs. Wang and the princess of the county among the guests from all walks of life, and the whole person sighed in her heart, secretly screaming that it was over, but she didn't expect to meet a knowledgeable person.
"Snake Neidan, this is the dragon ball sent by Shuzuo, it's just smoked with medicine, sister, you are mistaken. ”
Mrs. Wang glanced at the lady opposite, her tone was very natural, there was no trace of panic and messiness, and at the same time she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately, it was the snake Neidan, the effect was real, the dragon ball was too impractical, and it was expensive...
"Yes, sister, do you know... Although the medicine required to smoke the Dragon Balls is in fact..."
The noble lady in front of her would not let go of this opportunity to make Mrs. Wang embarrassed, and when she wanted to continue, Li Wei stepped forward and gently grabbed her mother, but was directly glared at by the latter.
In the face of Aunt Dao's aggressiveness, Mrs. Wang always looked indifferent: "Sister, you are really knowledgeable. ”
"Sister, in fact, Shuzuo still has a heart..."
At this time, Li Qi's voice floated lightly: "This thing is the Dragon Ball, not the Snake Neidan." ”
